Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 226 This battle is the battle to save the world.

The next second, Harosa's emotions fluctuated violently, and the Ryujin Jakka Fantasy Book at his waist and the Shikon Jewel at his chest trembled simultaneously.

Countless charred undead and hideous monsters surged out from it, enveloping his severed arm like a tidal wave.

"boom!"

The purple beam of light from the Shikon Jewel suddenly dissipated, and Harosa, having completed his transformation from an anti-knight to a monster, reappeared before Tang Wulin.

Its body still retains a human-like outline, but its body is interwoven with billions of monsters and dead, and every inch of its skin is writhing and roaring, as if countless vengeful spirits are struggling under its skin.

"Tang Wulin!"

With a frenzied roar, a massive maw suddenly split open across Harosa's chest and abdomen, and countless undead monsters roared and pounced on Tang Wulin like a black tide.

They were as dense as plague bacteria, instantly turning the pristine far north into a murky gray-black. Their sheer number far exceeded that of the underworld army on the battlefield of the Star Luo Empire!
Faced with this overwhelming tide of undead, Tang Wulin remained calm and slowly raised the Spirit Dance Sword in his hand.

As Tang Wulin swung his sword, a dazzling crescent moon slashed out from the Wuling Sword.

Wherever the crescent moon went, all the hundreds of millions of undead creatures along the way were transformed into pure spiritual particles and disappeared.

"Ah, Tang Wulin! Ah!"

Meanwhile, seeing that the human wave tactic was useless, the crazed Harosa also slapped the fantasy book at his waist.

"Inuyasha."

"Flowing blade like fire!"

He gripped the Tessaiga tightly in his left hand and held the Ryujin Jakka in his right.

The Iron Slayer Blade unleashed a howling gale, while the Ryujin Jakka spewed forth infernal flames. The two intertwined to create a devastating combination attack that swept in like a fiery whirlwind.

In the far north, where ice and fire collide, a fiery dragon phantom instantly rises, and the high temperature causes the millennia-old glacier to steam out a white mist.

Tang Wulin held the Xiyang Sword horizontally, its blade wreathed in a raging storm of flames that shared the same origin as Halosa but were purer.

"Fire Dance Whirlwind!"

"boom!"

Two fire dragons collided violently in the sky above the snowfield, their crimson flames and pale snow intertwining to form a twisted vortex of energy.

The surrounding snow-capped mountains melted at a visible speed, revealing gray-black rocks, and Tang Wulin's fire dragon finally broke through the obstacles with overwhelming force, rushing towards Harosa!

A crazed gleam of joy flashed in Harosa's eyes as he swung his Tessaiga at the fire dragon: "You've been tricked! Watch my Bakuryoha!"

The wind suddenly shifted, and the flames rebounded! Tang Wulin's fire dragon changed direction, its size doubled, and it came back with double the destructive power!

At this moment, the gale reversed and the flames turned against them!
The terrifying "fire dragon" suddenly turned around and attacked Tang Wulin uncontrollably!
And this time, the "fire dragon's" body was twice as powerful as before!
Indeed, under the power of the Explosive Flow Breaker, Tang Wulin's Fire Dance Whirlwind was reflected back at double the speed.

In response, Tang Wulin remained calm and stood still, but this time he held the Xiyang Sword and the Wuling Sword horizontally and vertically in front of him.

"Good idea, then let me show you what true 'trust and bond' really means!"

"Dual Swords Combined - Crescent Cross Strike!"

"boom!!!"

A massive sword aura, shaped like a cross, slashed out from Tang Wulin's hand.

Finally, with overwhelming force, it pierced straight through the oncoming "fire dragon".

Seeing this, Harosa stopped what he was doing and murmured in disbelief.

"how come."

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, Harosa, along with the snow-capped mountain he was on, turned to ashes, leaving only a huge cross-shaped sword beam that remained in place, radiating light.

Beneath the sword's edge, Tang Wulin, having deactivated his transformation roar, stood in mid-air, gazing down at Harosa, who was nearly "burnt out" and resembled several corpses.

"It's over, Harosa."

Upon hearing this, Harosa did not reply, but only muttered to himself in a hoarse voice.

"It really did happen in an instant."

Seeing this, Tang Wulin frowned, about to say something.

At that moment, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, and Xie Xie stepped out first, followed closely by Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, and others.

"Wulin!"

"Are you alright, Wu Lin?"

Tang Wulin shook his head and returned the two swords to Mu Xi and Wu Siduo: "I'm fine, how are you two doing?"

"With me, Xie Xie, here, what could possibly happen?" Xie Xie patted his chest and laughed, then leaned closer and said.

"Your move, the Double Sword Combination - Crescent Cross Strike, was so cool! Teach me later, I want to try it with your Golden Dragon Sword!"

Xu Xiaoyan playfully punched him: "Stop messing around, Wu Lin just finished a tough battle, let him rest."

Wu Siduo gently brushed the snow dust off Tang Wulin's shoulder: "Although the Netherworld's turbid energy of Flowing Blade is purified, we must still be careful of residual corrosion."

Tang Wulin looked at the concerned faces of his companions, a warm smile appearing in his eyes.

This scene, when witnessed by Harosa, combined with a wisp of azure spiritual energy that quietly seeped into his soul, burned his vengeful spirit like a scorching hot iron.

At that moment, laughter and cheers, like fine needles, pierced the soul of Harosa, who was waiting to die not far away.

Why? Why should Tang Wulin have all of this?
“Ahhhhh——!”

Harosa's soul trembled violently, and the originally dim soul fire suddenly surged, while the pitch-black resentment surged like boiling ink.

He stared intently at Tang Wulin, letting out a roar that sounded inhuman, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with a madness that seemed to burn everything.

"Warmth? Bonds? Companions? — Burn them all!"

Before he finished speaking, his physical body was completely burned away, eventually merging into the Shikon Jewel in his chest. Finally, the Shikon Jewel returned to the Inuyasha Fantasy Book.

Finally, under the control of the Golden Tree, the Inuyasha Magic Book and the Ryujin Jakka Magic Book merged into one.

"Shoot-"

The moment the fantasy books touched, both fantasy books suddenly opened wide.

A ghostly purple flame ignited at the edge of the book's pages, and the words that recorded the power of Ryujin Jakka seemed to come alive, frantically clinging to Harosa's soul and completely enveloping him.

The fantasy book began to expand violently, and its originally yellowed pages became like red-hot irons, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures that could distort space itself.

The spine of the book is cracked with countless tiny fissures, each spewing out streams of destructive flames.

The air throughout the far north trembled violently under this force, as if it were about to ignite at any moment.

"Tang Wulin!"

Harosa's voice came from inside the fantasy book, completely devoid of human timbre, leaving only a hoarse and frenzied sound like flames burning.

Upon hearing Halosa's shout, Tang Wulin, who had been talking with the others, also stopped.

Turning around, one could see that Harosa's physical body had been reduced to a pile of charred remains, while his soul stood in the air with a ferocious expression.

Seeing this, Yue Zhengyu frowned, then let out a soft snort.

"A desperate counterattack? Hmph, as expected of a born evil spirit master!"

Seeing Tang Wulin and the others looking in their direction, Halosa let out a roar.

"Tang Wulin! Let's turn to ashes together! No one in this world will have an easy time! I want this world to perish with me!"

Before the words were finished, the fantastical book, which had expanded to tens of feet in size, suddenly paused for a moment, then abruptly contracted inward. All the flames and runes condensed into a single point in an instant, and then—

"BOOM—!!!" An indescribable explosion erupted in the center of the far north.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only an intense white light that engulfed everything.

Under the remote control of Tang San's divine consciousness, the Flowing Blade Like Fire Fantasy Book merged with all the resentment, hatred, and unwillingness in Harosa's soul.

The fantasy book suddenly contracted inward, and all its energy condensed into a single point of white light.

There was no loud noise, only the ultimate annihilation power that devoured everything.

The far north, which is covered by ice and snow all year round, was transformed into a magma inferno in an instant!

Countless snow-capped mountains were transformed into volcanoes by this terrifying flame, from which lava continuously erupted.

Even the sky was burned with huge holes, revealing the deep cosmos.

Meanwhile, Harosa's remnant soul shot straight into the sky along the pillar of light!

That's right, he meant what he said, he was going to burn everything and incinerate the world!

This scene caused panic among the passengers below, who had barely survived a series of disasters.

However, Tang Wulin did not say much about this. Instead, he looked at Ye Xinglan, who was eager to try, or rather, Xu Lizhi, with a serious expression.

Xu Lizhi took a deep breath before speaking with a serious expression.

"For everyone's sake, let's merge, Wu Lin!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded seriously, then looked at Ye Xinglan, his originally gentle voice now filled with an extremely serious and firm tone.

"This battle is the battle to save the world!"

As Ye Xinglan saw Tang Wulin's reflection in her eyes, a belief burned in her heart even more intensely than the flames in the distance.

She clenched her fist, her voice clear and sharp like the ringing of a sword.

"This battle is a battle fought alongside the brave!"

Before she could finish speaking, she had already thrown herself into Tang Wulin's arms.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light erupted from the point where the two touched, completely engulfing their figures.

This golden light is not an outward, scorching heat, but rather carries a gentle yet irresistible attraction.

The surrounding spiritual energy, elemental power, and even the remaining essence of ice and snow from the far north all converged at a visible speed into a spiral-shaped torrent of energy, surging madly into the golden pillar of light.

It was as if the will of the entire Douluo Star was injecting power into the fusion of these two!
Before long, Tang Wulin appeared before everyone, holding the golden and dazzling Starry Sky Sword in his hand.

At this moment, although the two have transformed, they have entered the "True - Heaven and Earth Coexistence" mode, making them veritable saviors of the true world!

Above the planet, Harosa's remnant soul, witnessing this scene, became even more ferocious, its already maddened spirit descending into madness.

"Tang Wulin!"

"Broken Blade - Ashes of Heaven and Earth!"

The next second, a huge sun crashed down from the universe, from above the planet, towards the far north.

That "sphere of light" falling from the universe was actually the product of Harosa using remnant souls as a catalyst, compressing the essence of Ryujin Jakka and the deepest resentment of the underworld to the extreme.

Before it even touched the earth, the terrifying heat it emitted had already evaporated all the remaining ice and snow in the far north, and even the churning magma below seemed like burning kerosene, frantically steaming water vapor upwards.

At the edge of the void in the sky, fragments of space fell like shattered glass, instantly melted by the energy emanating from the "sphere of light".

This was no ball of light; it was clearly the core of a sun, condensed with the will to destroy, crashing down towards Tang Wulin's location with the determination to turn the entire Douluo Star into cosmic dust!

In response, Tang Wulin gripped the Starry Sky Sword tightly, glanced deeply at his companions around him, and then his eyes hardened once more.

In an instant, the Starry Sky Sword in his hand also flashed with dazzling golden light, as if it were resonating with it.

Golden light flowed across the sword like a living thing; that was Ye Xinglan's sword intent.

It is also a mark formed by the combined beliefs of all our partners.

As the shout of "Heaven and Earth Live Together - Fire Dance Whirlwind" faded, the Starry Sky Sword slashed fiercely towards the sky.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a golden fire dragon, refined to its extreme, roaring out from the sword blade.

This fire dragon is completely different from the "Great Sun" of Harosana, which carries an aura of destruction. Its flames are warm and inclusive, yet contain an inviolable protective power.

The fire dragon was surrounded by a faint halo, a protective barrier spontaneously formed by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in resonance with the concept of "heaven and earth living together".

A golden fire dragon soared into the sky, its head held high, its scales shimmering like golden glass, and its eyes sparkling with the light of protection and hope.

Instead of directly colliding with the "Great Sun," it cleverly coiled around it, flames and halos intertwining to form a huge vortex that enveloped the "Great Sun" layer by layer.

"boom--!!!"

Two completely different forces collided violently high in the sky, and the resulting energy shockwaves spread outwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wherever it passed, the voids in the sky were temporarily smoothed out, the magma below was forcibly pushed back into the earth, and even the meteorites drifting in space were pulverized by this force.

Harosa's "Great Sun" burned wildly, attempting to drag the golden fire dragon into the abyss of destruction.

The pale flames relentlessly eroded the golden dragon's body, emitting a hissing sound—a fierce clash between two wills.

The golden fire dragon, however, held its ground steadfastly. Its flames, though seemingly gentle, possessed an indomitable resilience.

Every time the purplish-black flames erode the golden fire dragon, it draws power from the surrounding天地 (heaven and earth) to quickly replenish its own losses.

This is the true meaning of "living as long as heaven and earth"—resonating with the world, borrowing the world's power, and safeguarding the world's peace.

Tang Wulin's hand holding the Starry Sky Sword was as steady as a rock, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his eyes became more and more determined.

He could clearly feel that the Starry Sky Sword was resonating strongly with him, with Ye Xinglan, with all his companions, and even with the planet beneath his feet.

With each breath, a continuous stream of power surged into his body, passing through the Starry Sky Sword to the golden fire dragon.

"Impossible... This is impossible!" Harosa's remnant soul roared madly within the "Great Sun," unable to comprehend it.

Why is Tang Wulin always able to gather such powerful strength? Why, despite his desperate attempts at destruction, can he never shake the seemingly gentle protection of the other party?

But the next second, the golden fire dragon suddenly raised its head and let out a roar that shook the universe. Its body suddenly expanded several times, and the flames shone brightly.

The previously suppressed situation was instantly reversed, and the golden flames surged back like a tide, gradually devouring the "great sun".

"Ah—! Tang Wulin!"

Harosa's roar was filled with resentment and despair; he could feel his remnant soul being purified and dissolved by the golden flames.

The light of the "Great Sun" grew dimmer and dimmer, and finally, with a shrill scream, it was completely swallowed up by the golden fire dragon.

As the last wisp of purplish-black flame dissipated in the golden light, Harosa's remnant soul also vanished, leaving not even a trace of resentment behind.

The enormous hole in the sky began to slowly heal under the nourishment of the energy emanating from the golden fire dragon.

The space debris stopped falling; instead, starlight shone through the repairing clouds and sprinkled onto the earth.

The golden fire dragon completed its mission and slowly dissipated into the world, turning into countless golden specks of light that fell like a drizzle.

These points of light fell on the scorched earth of the far north, and in places that were originally covered by lava, tender green grass sprouts began to break through the soil, showing their tenacious vitality.

Tang Wulin, holding the Starry Sky Sword, slowly landed on the ground.

His breathing was somewhat disordered, but his eyes were bright and gentle.

He looked up at the sky, then at his companions whose faces were full of concern, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

This battle, which concerned the survival of the world, has finally come to an end.
